Even if so: do not override the compatible string like this, that is not the PrimeCell style. Define an 8 bit vendor ID (like tha ASCII for 'H' 0x48 or whatever) and encode it for these variants, if the hardware is just using the ARM default PrimeCell ID, override it in the device tree like Broadcom are doing in arch/arm/boot/dts/bcm2835.dtsi: arm,primecell-periphid = <0x00241011>; Maybe yours would be: arm,primecell-periphid = <0x00048011>; For a first HiSilicon variant, then do some <include/linux/amba/bus.h>: enum amba_vendor { AMBA_VENDOR_ARM = 0x41, + AMBA_VENDOR_HISILICON = 0x48, Then patch drivers/tty/serial/amba_pl011.c to add vendor_hisilicon and a match table for 0x00048011 just like everyone else.
